Hard (Craps term)

In the game of craps, a hard number is a number that is rolled using a pair of dice that do not have matching values. A hard number is a number that is not made up of two matching dice, such as a 6 and a 4, or a 5 and a 3. Hard numbers are considered to be more difficult to roll than easy numbers, because they require the shooter to roll a different number on each die. In craps, hard numbers are often used as point numbers, and they are typically more valuable than easy numbers. For example, a hard 6 may be worth more than an easy 6, because it is harder to roll. Hard numbers are also used in other craps bets, such as hard ways and horn bets.
